The new fish stall on Coventry Market has made me very, very happy indeed. I am very partial to anchovies, both the heavily salted variety and those in a marinade - boquerones in Spanish tapas bars. I bought a massive container of them for £3! Having hardly dented them after a weekend of making tapas for friends, I made a tomato & anchovy salad as a starter.
All it needed was a couple of ripe tomatoes, some homemade pickled cabbage (thank you Will!), fresh basil and roasted red pepper from the excellent Polish deli. I didn't even make a dressing: just a squeeze of lemon and a spot of Balsamic was perfect, topped off with a twist of the black pepper mill.
